DERBY. i HOW THE RACE WAS WON, By Telegraph—Press Association. ! Received November 5, 9.5 a.m. MELBOURNE; Nov. 5. la a drizzling raiu half a dozen candidates for the Derby stripped for the contest.

Booran was a bad thud, and lolaire last. It was a fast and true ruu race, and beyond question the best horse won,
